Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

I just read that multi-million-selling author J.K. Rowling announced that she was expecting her third child but promised worldwide "Harry Potter" fans the pregnancy would not delay her writing a sixth book about the boy wizard.

The author reassured fans that the pregnancy would not affect the release of the next book in the Potter installment. "Now, I know that many Harry Potter fans' first reaction will be what does this mean for the timing of book six?" Rowling said. "Book six remains well on track and, fingers crossed of course, I don't foresee any baby-related delays or interruptions."

It may not delay the publishing, but I'm betting her pregnancy influences her writing. Don't be surprised if the title ends up being something like "Harry Potter & the Speculum of Death."

And imagine a hormonal-influenced Harry Potter novel! Man, this next book is gonna suck. It's going to be dark, depressing and full of rage. I can already hear the dialogue...

Harry: "Would you like a spot of tea, Hermione?"

Hermione: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT????!!!??? I WILL TURN YOU INTO A SPOTTED ONE-LEGGED FROG YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BOY!!!!... Why don't you love me?"

Prenatally,

me

It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets and, when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared. But also, being a practical leader, he decided to seek advice from experts. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"

"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it still going to be a cold winter?" he asked.

"Yes," the man at the National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter.

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.

Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that this winter is going to be very cold?" he asked for a third time.

"Absolutely," the weatherman replied. "In fact, it's going to be one of the coldest winters ever!"

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.

The weatherman replied, "The Indians are gathering wood like crazy!"

 Notorious News
Hollywood Calls for Silly String Ban

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood residents and businesspeople tired of being in the silly-string crossfire every Halloween have asked the city to ban the colorful streams of compressed foam.

Councilman Tom LaBonge, whose district includes part of Hollywood, initially sought a complete ban but later opted to focus on Halloween, when residents complain the streets get jammed with silly-string slingers.

LaBonge said the non-biodegradable foam can fall into storm drains and harm marine life, and also can endanger police, particularly those on horseback.

On Friday, without debate, a Los Angeles City Council committee asked the city attorney's office to prepare an ordinance that eventually will be put to a vote before the council.

Several other communities, including Santa Clarita and New Orleans, have restrictions against the use of silly string.

[Let's make a deal with Hollywood... The ban on Silly String in exchange for a ban on crappy movies and reality TV shows.]

A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates.

She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had loved and who had died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her, "Hello, How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."

When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her.

"Which word?" the woman asked.

"Love."

The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.

About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day.

While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived. "I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been ?"

"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her. "I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill. And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a huge mansion. And, my wife and I traveled all around the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer. How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.

"Which word?" her husband asked.

"Czechoslovakia."

Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.

"Billy"

"And what is your question, Billy?"

"I have three questions. First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan; second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office; and third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Hillary says, "Okay where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.

"Steve"

"And what is your question, Steve?"

"I have five questions. First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan; second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office; third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House; fourth - why did the bell ring 20 minutes early; and fifth - what happened to Billy?"

 Folly Fallout

On Fogie's Folly regarding restrooms for transvestites in Thailand...

They need to be put in a mental hospital, not given their own bathroom. I am appalled beyond words! - Wanda for decent values, Des Moines, IA
[And yet, you are able to write about it using words. So, when did your trailer park get dial-up service?]

If the little bit***s and bullies had any maturity at all, accommodating the other kids would not have been necessary. You can't not let them use either bathroom and then complain when they no longer need to use either. - Georgia Wiccan
[Gimme a Thai Ladyboy and a little opium soup and I'm one happy guy.]

Regarding the news story "Woman Stabs Partner Over Soccer Match"...

Why wait for a soccer match? She clearly doesn't like the bloke; she could have done him in without using this as a lame excuse. - Warrior Femme, Australia
[Hey, Femme! Long time, no talkie. I can always count on you to bring reason to any topic.]

Buy 2 T.V.'s - is that so hard? Damn, how stupid can you be? - Eric, Rowland Heights, CA
[Yeah, but who gets the big one w/ picture-in-picture?]

What is red card-carded? - Casey
[In soccer you get penalized for different actions. A caution would be when the referee displays a yellow card to a player. If it is a severe penalty that requires ejection the referee would display a red card.]

Regarding the news story "Baby's Diaper Absorbs Snake Venom"...

"maybe they should implement a rock buy-back program." Why would you joke about such things? Would you rather they used guns? - Carl
[Actually, we're already doing it. Oh, wait. My bad. I was thinkin' of the "IRAQ buy back program".]

Let's see. Hates Jews and believes they should be killed. Hates Bush and want's him out. Yep, empirical evidence would point to the fact that LIB = Nazi piece of crap. You suck, Fogie! I'm out of here. - Ray
[You wouldn't be intelligent enough to understand anything that I would be stupid enough to tell you anyway.]

Snakes, and Palestinian militants blowing up buses and innocent women and children, which is maybe the most cowardly thing any person can do, are 2 different things. Israel has every right to strike back, when such attacks are perpetrated to them. Your ramblings are a disgrace, and it's gross generalization that Israel is a country that goes overboard in launching attack for little or no reason is disturbing. - Claudia
[My ramblings?!? That was the most incredible run-on sentence I've ever seen! I swear it's an aneurysm waiting to happen.]

General comments...

Fogie, Why don't you run for President? When you win, you can build a whole new cabinet, and maybe get this national debt of ours in order. And deny everyone who is illegal the right to drive, (what the hell was Gray Davis thinking?). Come on Fogie, all your faithful readers would have your back. Make the announcement and run for office. -Jenni
[And when I make it you'll be the first intern I hire as a sex toy.]

Responding to critics in his own party who claim he shows an appalling lack of understanding when it comes to the delicate subtleties of foreign policy, Dub noted in a recent speech "My job isn't to try to nuance." What a dolt. -Sandy
[His job is to convert nouns into verbs.]

Researchers at New York State and Drexel Universities have developed a method of implanting electrodes in the gray matter of rats that allow precise direction by remote control to insure repetitive behavior through a system of rewards. Big Brother is on the horizon! -William
[We've had that for years. It's called the NBA.]

What did you do, make a resolution to make sense? Your comments on G.W. Shrub have been right on target. I really fear for this country if he gets elected this year. I can't say re-elected, because he wasn't elected in the first place. -Keith
[Oh, damn. I'm starting to make sense to the monkeys.]
